Trailer trash

What just happened again?

Hollywood can't resist cheap hits. Nor can Robert De Niro - hence Little Fockers. The third in the Meet the Parents series will reunite him with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson - with added pesky grandchildren.

Oscar lessons

The best Oscar party this year will be in Paris, where the teenage cast of Laurent Cantet's The Class will be allowed to stay up later than ever, even on a school night. Cantet's Palme d'Or winner is up for Best Foreign Film, and although the director brought most of them up on stage with him at Cannes, the funds just weren't there to take them all to Hollywood. 'I'd actually rather be with them all in Paris, because the film is as much theirs as it is mine," says Cantet. "But I never thought the sort of film that I make could become part of the mainstream, so I'll be there to support this kind of film-making at the Oscars.'

Company of cubs

Producer Stephen Woolley (The Crying Game) has finally made one for the kids. 'Everything I've ever done has been 18-certificate,' he told me at a screening of his charming new documentary Sounds Like Teen Spirit, about Junior Eurovision. 'I always swore I'd do something my own kids could see but it's taken me so long that now they're old enough to watch my adult films.' But he hasn't gone entirely soft: Woolley's next production will be called We Want Sex.
